Did you know that okra, is actually a fruit, but we use it like a vegetable in many different recipes. Okra, also called lady fingers, are rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin K and contain antioxidants. Studies even show okra may even help control your blood sugar levels. Many of our Certified Farm Markets offer fresh, grown okra right from their farms. When choosing the perfect okra look for that fresh green color, avoid any brown discolorations or okra that is very large. The perfect sized okra is between two and four inches long.
